I had the misfortune of getting several ticks on my body over the last year. Man, are they a real pain to deal with. The last one was several months ago and it is still swollen up and itching like crazy. Nothing makes it feel better than my finger nails raking over it most of the day and all throughout the night.
One of the bites that I got right after the Christmas holidays actually got to looking like a bull’s eye around it and I had to go to the E.R. for antibiotics in case the little critter was carrying Lyme Disease. I hate ticks.
It looks like I’ll be spending next weekend helping my brother and my uncle put down the new patio floor that has been needing a do over for several years now. Since my uncle’s motorcycle accident, three years ago, he hasn’t been able to do so much of the things that he is used to doing and need to be done around his house and yard, so we are happy to go over and help him as much as possible.
The weather is been so wonderful this Spring, so now is the perfect time to get a job done like this. Between the three of us it shouldn’t take long at all and it is always good to be able to spend time with family members, especially my uncle, he is a trip, my favorite uncle indeed.
Knowing that you don’t have to go to a doctor’s office and be charged the high fees that go along with today’s doctor’s appointment, to have a variety of blood testing done really floats my boat. Consumer driven healthcare is an up and coming effort that makes having these options available to us here, all across the country. My brother is having blood testing washington dc work done concerning his liver that we believe is causing him health issues at his early age of 34. Bad livers run in the family and of course just like any other health issue, the sooner you address it, the better off you are, so I’m glad that he is finding a way to get this done now.
Yesterday afternoon I started feeling what I call “out of sorts” an unbelievable sadness came over me that I just couldn’t shake. This morning I got a phone call informing me of a very dear close friend’s passing yesterday. He was found in bed, so I’m thankful that he is now resting in total peace. But today still sucks.
Spring used to be my favorite season until a few years ago when I started experiencing allergy issues with all the blooming going on. My nose is so sore from blowing it constantly and my throat is really giving me grief lately. Good thing that I don’t smoke, I’m sure that would aggravate it terribly.
I suppose I should go see the doctor and get a prescription while I still have a job with health benefits. One never knows what tomorrow will bring, as far as employment goes. We are all a bit on edge at work.
